fabric (and batting if you wish), cut to overlap cardboard by about an inch

various matching ribbons

and your trusty glue gun

First, make sure you iron your fabric so it's nice and smooth. No one wants to hang up wrinkly fabric.

Then line the fabric and batting up, flip over, and...

Glue the edges down!

don't get your fingers with the glue gun.

Fold the corners like a present, or just glue them as best you can like I did. Nobody's gonna see the back, unless they take it off the wall just to nitpick about a messy back. Those people should stay away from my house.

Lay your ribbon over the top and cut with an inch or two extra to wrap around the back.

Pin the ribbons in place. Flip over the board.

again, glue gun to the rescue. you know what to do.

Pop it in your frame, and tada! You're done! Fill 'er up with clips and such, and you're in business. Of course, my daughters have so many that you can't see the fabric, so I had to remove some. Yikes.

Thanks, Emilie and readers, for having me! Come by and visit sometime! :)
